Being aggressive and hateful to the entire world at once will tend to requires substantial bodyguard resources, and will eventually fail.

Peace based upon respect and respect for hard-won rules and structures is the right road.

Switzerland learned this lesson through bloodshed, after a disastrous campaign in which nationals supporting the Duke of Milan got caught in reprisals from his foes, thus beginning the great Swiss tradition of neutrality in foreign conflict.

While I won't argue about the relative morality involved in World War 2, I will argue that all ensuing wars the USA has been involved in have ultimately undermined it's prospects for future peace.

It seems like many of my fellow Americans need a history lesson vis-a-vis Iran.

The USA and UK conspired to overthrow the democratically elected Iranian prime minister Mossadegh, as he threatened to nationalize (their own) oil, which Standard Oil, among others, didn't like very much (Shades of United Fruit and Guatemala anywone?)

We then attempted to install the Shah (we knocked down their democracy because it was too lefty, then we put a king back on the throne.)

The 1979 revolution was a direct reaction to this, and could have been seen coming from a decade before.

This was initially a real revolution, but of course, they purged the lefties and students out and installed a right wing religious government, rather like many Republicans want for America.

And we have the nerve to hammer on them for desiring self-actualization... incredible.

Hypocrisy is not even the beginning of it...

Somewhat tangential, but I'll take Haproxy anyday over Nginx for the simple fact that Nginx is a a Freemium product, rather than a true open source libre software entity.

I somehow failed to realize over the years that their Pro product is $2500 (given the ubiquity of usage in the OSS community).

I am not contesting it's value, as it brings several vital features to the table, but I feel that it should be mentioned.

Familiarity with Haproxy's dead-simple configuration (although this Caddy seems as simple as pie!) and it's reliability and scalability leads me to also prefer it, even in Kubernetes land, so I do apologize for giving Caddy short shrift in this comment.

It appears that Caddy differentiates merely on free downloads and business SUPPORT plans, which is much cleaner feeling to me, so I applaud this effort to re-direct peoples attention in front-end land.

Leaving aside the fact that open source toolchains exist for various Lattice FPGA's (the ice-40 and ecp5 etc)

About the simplest environment for doing what you just described is http://papilio.cc/

While using the existing Xilinx Webpack tools for actual synthesis, place and routing, etc. the Papilio Design-IDE will LITERALLY let you add peripherals to virtual Arduino like appendages! It takes advantage of a number of community projects like the Wishbone bus, and achieves a nearly drag-n-drop level of visual design tool.

Once you have loaded your custom arduino chip onto the papilio boards FPGA you can program it with a modified version of the Arduino IDE!!!!

One of their virtual chips you can start with IS the arduino atmega 328! Another is the ZPU-ino, an implementation of the Zylin ZPU (a 32bit mcu) done by Alvie Boy that allows you to program this much more powerful device ALSO by the Arduino IDE!

1) multiplexed audio. Sure, your frame clock may only be 44.1khz, but the bit clock on a mere 8 channels of this will be 11.2896mhz, to say nothing of oversampling, to say nothing of processing

2) low latency processing of the above may require in-situ pipelining in which the pass-through buffer itself IS the processing buffer, etc. imagine being able to eat the pot you boil your pasta in.

3) why WOULDN'T any well-designed elegant system have every single tick as a function of that bit clock? It makes no sense to deliberately place spanners in your own path, particularly as pertains to jitter etc. It's not like you are going to pause your wavelet transform and check your email in process...

no. You don't get it. You literally have no rights with these unconstitutional cops. Wait until you personally experience this sort of thing, as you seem to think that the author "deserved" it. The more I think about it, the more disgusted I am by your comment. I find it highly deliberately ignorant, as if you are directly ignoring the entire point of this story. If a US citizen is not allowed into the USA, where could they possibly be deported to LOL? Constitutional rights? All this from an agency that sounds like something from the 3rd Reich, and created under Bush Jr. Highly unconstitutional, and vested with impunity. Wrongful

It's true, Medium sucks. What is more pathetic is that we are even here with a Medium to complain about. What part of the 1995 World Wide Web tech is insufficient to deliver a page of legible text and possibly some images? Why on earth is there even a gatekeeper on such? Hosting costs for such are as low as it can get. We have digressed to a level of decadence Geocities could never even hope to achieve. This is MySpace 2.0 dumb. What the actual heck?

what if they actually are newfangled bullshit? (a mere proposition, as fads fade. I merely ask you to entertain this proposal)

It sounds like another entity might be able to use his brain a bit more thoroughly.

Why should "platform platforms" establish a norm attempting to actively appear "viewpoint neutral"?

"come a little closer mouse so that I may better catch you and eat you..."

Why on earth should society bend over backwards to aid spoiled deliberate attention-seekers when there are 7 billion other people who are actually trying to resolve problems that need our actual attention.

These "malingerers" are using up valuable medical staff's time they could be spending upon actually ill patients!

you are describing a buffer over/under run. jitter is when a stream of serial audio data (such as most external usb/firewire/etc audio interfaces end up receiving) is not time-aligning it's frames/samples correctly with the clock of the codec (which should be the master clock) or other situations where the clocking of playback/recording differs from the derived "clock" of the streams boundaries.
